- janet· June 1st, 2025The Balkan tour is a great tour visiting 8 countries in 14 days, yet it is not tiring. The schedule is good and not so hectic. Lots of rest time. Hotels are right at the centre town (3***) old but clean. Some have no elevators. The guide is good considering it was her first tour and was still a student. Overall, with the value and experience, I recommend this tour to everyone.Show more
- Georgia· May 31st, 2025The tour guide Teia was the best! She made the trip even better. Unfortunately she couldn’t be with us for 2 days of the trip as penguin travel didn’t tell her about a visa she needed!! It was a very quick tour through the balkans and some places maybe didn’t need to be on the trip. E.g don’t need a night in Trebinje but an extra night in Dubrovnik! Overall it was good and the bus driver Bobby was great too!Show more
- Stephen· May 31st, 2025Great scenery and wonderful old cities. Pity about all the border crossings.Show more
